A developer accidentally created a control plane for AI coding agents, aiming to manage their costs and ensure they adhere to specific boundaries and validation rules. This system, dubbed AADLC, evolved to include a governance layer (cARL), a cost visibility tool (CopeLimit), an optimization layer (Headroom), and a future resource-insights engine (cARRIE). Benchmarks comparing Anthropic's Sonnet 4.6 and OpenAI's GPT-5.4 showed significant differences in credit usage and execution time, highlighting that the delegation system, rather than just the model itself, is crucial for effective AI-assisted engineering.
